Capturing shutdown

[Frank]

Hello,
I am trying to capture the shutdown process to delete some windows temp files older than 7 days on a small drive.
I have tried this:

Code: Select all

#( Delete_WinTemp
WatchQueryShutdown
Action:
    INTERCEPT-SHUTDOWN
    PAUSE: 1000
    RECURSIVE
    PURGE-OLDA: "q:\temp\*" 7
    BALLOON: "Attention!" "Windows Temp file older than 3 days have been deleted!"
    BEEP: 250 500
    PAUSE: 1000
    CONTINUE-SHUTDOWN
)#

I do not believe that this is working because I do not receive the Balloon and the size of the drive does not change.
Could someone help with this script?
Thanks

Since Windows 7 it's impossible by design to intercept the shutdown and suspend processes. Do your maintenance work on WatchLogon or WatchResume or on a regular time base.

Thank you.
I have now changed it to:

Code: Select all

#( Delete_WinTemp
WatchLogon: "*"
Action:
    PAUSE: 60000
    RECURSIVE
    PURGE-OLDA: "q:\temp\*" 7
    BALLOON: "Attention!" "Windows Temp file older than 7 days have been deleted!"
    BEEP: 250 500
    PAUSE: 30000
)#

The only problem now that I have is empty directories will accumulate. How do I delete all empty directories?
Thanks

Add WITHDIRS as a modifier:

Code: Select all

...
RECURSIVE
WITHDIRS
...

I thought of that, but I think I will have problem deleting old folders with new files in it.
